Hello,
The problem in a nutshell: My queue tells me there are no items, but the read/write pointers, as well as a debug counter tell me the buffer has 1-2 items left. Furthermore, looking at the raw uart traffic, it appears that some sort of corruption is possibly occuring with uxMessagesWaiting.
I am currently implementing a UART buffer using a freeRTOS queue. The bytes are received in an interrupt, and pushed to the back of the queue
if ( xQueueSendToBackFromISR(m_UartQueue,(void *)&InByte,
&pxHigherPriorityTaskWoken) == pdTRUE )
where InByte is a uint8_t.
They are being popped off the queue in another thread.
xQueueReceive(m_UartQueue, (void *)Byte, UART_RECEIVE_WAIT_TIME);
where byte is a uint8_t pointer.
I am finding by creating my own debug counter to compare to uxMessagesWaiting that the value differs from what my debug counters say. Within the interrupt the uxMessagesWaiting is often reporting 1 less than what I would expect.
I have verified that the interrupt priority of the interrupt is appropriately set relative to configmax_syscall_interrupt_priority.
Baud rate is 38400, the buffer size is 256. 39 byte packets are being received.
I am out of ideas. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
